Definitions

  • the present invention relates to slide fasteners of the type having two sliders which act independently of one another for opening and closing a common slide fastener and can be locked together against movement away from each other in their fully closed position on the slide fastener.
  • slide fasteners of this type have been employed frequently as closure members for suitcases, garment bags or other similar luggage items.
  • a double slider locking slide fastener of the structure described in the first part of the accompanying claim 1 is known from US-A-4 244 086.
  • the driver is rotatably supported in the housing of one of the sliders and it is integrally connected to the locking bolt. The driver can be rotated manually only when a separate locking cylinder takes the unlocked position of rotation.
  • the driver is integrally connected with the locking bolt and it can be displaced manually in the respective slider housing only when a separate locking cylinder is in the position of release.
  • the invention aims at improving the prior art double slider locking slide fastener so that by the actuation of the locking device of one of the sliders by means of the associated key, the bolt is moved automatically into the position of release or into the locking position.
  • the double slider locking slide fastener 20 (hereinafter referred to as "locking slide fastener”) includes a pair of conventional slide fastener stringer tapes 21, 21 arranged in side by side relationship and a pair of rows of coupling elements or scoops 22, 22 mounted on and along inner longitudinal edges of the stringer tapes 21, 21, respectively.
  • a pair of sliders 23, 24 is mounted on the locking slide fastener 20 to slide along the scoops 22, 22 such that the scoops 22, 22 of adjacent tapes 21, 21 are interlocked on the sides of each slider 23, 24 away from the other slider 24, 23 while the scoops 22, 22 between the two sliders 23, 24 are not interlocked and form an opening between the sliders 23, 24.
  • the sliders 23 and 24 are shown joined together against movement relative to each other by a locking device 25 described hereinbelow.
  • the internal configuration of the sliders 23, 24, for effecting the closing and opening the locking slide fastener 20, is conventional, and hence need not be considered in detail in this disclosure. It will merely be noted that the sliders 23, 24 have ends 26, 26, which are herein arbitrarily designated as leading ends, directed toward the opening or non-interlocked scoops, and ends 27, 27 herein designated as trailing ends toward the adjacent interlocked scoops.
  • each of the sliders 23, 24 is provided with a projection 28, 29 extending lengthwise of the slide fastener 20 and a pull tab 30, 31 is pivotably connected to the projection 28, 29.
  • the projection 28, 29 is in the form of a loop or an inverted U-shaped element having one arm 32, 33 ( Figures 2, 5 and 8) joined with the base of the slider 23, 24, at the leading end 26, 26 thereof.
  • the other arm 34, 35 ( Figures 2, 5 and 8) may be spaced from (as in the illustrated embodiment) or contact the base of the slider 23, 24 at the trailing end 27, 27 thereof, but, if there is a gap, the gap is of inadequate width for the pull tab 30, 31 to pass therethrough.
  • Each of the pull tabs 30, 31 may be rotated in a vertical plane to the locking slide fastener 20, from a first position lying on the slider 23, 24 to a second position 180 degrees therefrom.
  • the pull tabs 30, 31 are used in the normal way to enable pulling of the sliders 23, 24 along the scoops 22, 22 to a desired location.
  • the slider 23 has in its one or rear arm 34 of the U-shaped projection 28 a pair of lateral recesses 36, 36 for the purposes described below.
  • Each of the recesses 36, 36 is defined by a horizontal wall 36a ( Figures 5 and 6) extending parallel to the base of the slider 23 and a vertical wall 36b ( Figures 4 and 6) extending normal to the slider's base.
  • the pull tab 31 of the slider 24 has an elongated aperture 37 complementary in contour to the projection 28 of the slider 23 for receipt onto the projection 28 at the second position thereof.
  • the pull tab 31 further has a guide groove 38 extending longitudinally between the aperture 37 and the distal end of the pull tab 31, the guide groove 38 opening away from the base of the slider 24 when the pull tab 31 is in the second position shown in Figures 1, 2, 7 and 8.
  • the locking device 25 comprises an annular housing 39 formed integrally or otherwise joined with the pull tab 31 across the guide groove 38.
  • the housing 39 has a cylindrical bore 40 ( Figure 9) extending longitudinally therethrough and communicating at one end with the guide groove 38.
  • a driving member in the shape of a cylinder 41 is rotatably mounted within the bore 40 and having a slotted opening or key recess 40 into which the operative tip of a separate key (illustrated by the phantom lines in Figure 8) can be inserted for the rotation of the cylinder 41 thereby.
  • the cylinder 41 has an axial pin 43 located on the lower surface thereof in eccentric to the axis of the cylinder 41 and projecting axially downwardly into the guide groove 38 in the pull tab 31.
  • the locking device 25 further includes a locking member or bolt 44 slidably received in the guide groove 41 and operatively coupled at one end with the cylinder 41.
  • the bolt 44 has at the one end an oblong opening 45 extending widthwise thereof and at the other end a pair of spaced locking portions 46, 46 defining therebetween a space 47 for receipt therein the recessed rear arm 34 of the projection 28 of the slider 23.
  • the oblong opening 45 loosely receives the axial pin 43 of the cylinder so that the bolt 44 slides in and along the guide groove 38 between a first position in which the locking portions 46, 46 projects into the aperture 37 and a second position in which the locking portions 46, 46, in response to the rotary movement of the cylinder 41.
  • a cover 48 is mounted on the housing 39 to hold the cylinder 41 rotatably within the bore 40.
  • the cover 48 has a key hole 49 through which the key ( Figure 8) is inserted to actuate the locking device 25.
  • the locking slide fastener 20 of the foregoing construction can be closed by moving either of the sliders 24, 24 toward the other, or by moving both sliders 23, 24 toward each other, until the sliders 23, 24 are held in closed juxtaposition at their leading ends 26, 26.
  • the locking device 25 is actuated to place the bolt 44 in the second or retracted position.
  • the pull tab 31 of the slider 24 is rotated over and onto the pull tab 30 of the slider 23 with the projection 28 passing through the elongated aperture 37.
  • the recesses 36,36 in the arm 34 opens outwardly of the aperture 37 toward the locking portions 46, 46 of the bolt 44.
  • the key is inserted through the key hole 49 into the key recess 42 in the cylinder 41.
  • a locking slide fastener 20' comprises a pair of sliders 23', 24' which is substantially identical to the sliders 23, 24 of the preceding embodiment with the exception of the structure of a bolt 50 and a rear arm 51 ( Figure 12) of a projection 52.
  • the bolt 51 is in the shape of a rectangular plate having one end coupled with a cylinder 41' in driven relation thereto and at the other end a locking portion 53 movable into and out of an aperture 37' in a pull tab 31', in response to rotation of the cylinder 41'.
  • the rear arm 51 has a rectangular recess 54 opening rearwardly of a slider 23' for receiving the locking portion 53 of the bolt 51 when a locking device 25' is actuated to move the locking portion 53 of the bolt 51 into the aperture 37'.
